Political shock in South Korea: Yoon before the elevation of office after war law!

President Yoon Suk-Yeol is at the center of a political storm due to the sudden law of war. The opposition, led by the largest party, the Democratic Party (DP), has submitted an application for the elevation against him. "We submitted an application for office to be prepared that urgently has to be prepared," said representatives of six opposition parties on Wednesday, such as OE24 reported. This application could already be voted on Friday.

political crisis after drastic measures

Yoon surprisingly proclaimed war law on Tuesday, but only a few hours later to lift it again, which was triggered by one of the greatest political crises in South Korea's history. The step was a reaction to a household dispute between Yoon's party, the People's Power (PP) and the DP. The parliamentarians reacted quickly: after a coordination in the South Korean Parliament, in which 190 out of 300 MPs took part, war law was unanimously lifted, including all 18 MPs from Yoon's party. This led to a heated conflict in parliament when the opposition parties registered their project to hold Yoon as responsible.

The government is now faced with further legal steps. The opposition immediately announced that not only Yoon, but also other high -ranking civil servants, including ministers and key people in the police and the military. If Yoon does not resign immediately, the DP also threatens with an office procedure, which only heats up the political tensions, as the Tageblatt reported. "Even if war law is lifted, he cannot miss an indictment due to a treason," said DP MP Park Chan-Dae. This could have far -reaching consequences for Yoon and his government, especially if the opposition in the National Assembly can win over more than two thirds of the votes for an indictment.
